Nanny, we tried
We really did.
This morning, Jakob and Werner and I set about making a Christmas present for you: a Christmas tree ornament, made of plaster, in which we'd imbed an impression of his little hand. I also had a second kit, which was to be for his little foot.
I got everything ready. Werner held Jakob so I could press said little hand into the plaster. The little hand rebelled.
We tried again. And again. And finally switched to the little foot, which was also a dismal failure.
We really tried.
It's not the gift, right, it's the thought that counts?

Yes, it is the thought that counts but wouldn't that have been the best Christmas present! Yet, I can picture Jakob with his fist tightly clenched, not willing to be plastered again. Oh well, I will just have to wait for Poppy to make up some fresh cement when Jakob is visiting sometime.... Now that will be fun!
